Well as the title says I am back. Been off CD since the end of November as had birthdays and parties and then christmas etc but I did not not even put on an ounce. How good was I. Even over christams.

Then went to NY for 5 days on put on 7 pounds LOL.

It was always my intention to lose the other half now so am back and very very determind.

Hi Shelley,
:welcome2:

Congrats on not gaining over the Hols -- I started on CD before Christmas in order to start taking off the nearly 2 stone I regained of a 2008 5 stone loss. I took off a bit, then the holidays, visitors, etc. came along - but I managed to keep the regain of the November losses to 4.5 pounds.

Then, I restarted on Janauary 4th. Took off 5 lbs the first week, and am hoping that (not having been SSing) I've managed to lose or at least maintain this seecond week (I weigh tomorrow).

Anyway, I am totally sympathetic with your U.S. weight gain. I put on 9 pounds in 3 weeks whilst in Florida last August. One of the reasons I had 2 stone to relose. LOL

Please join in on the Daily Thread -- they are a great and supportive bunch of CDers.
